Afraid of Bliss
One day you'll grow up to be a king
You'll be the light of some girl's eye
Wake up with everything
You'll say you never want to die
And I hope that you remember
All the places you grew up
And I hope that you remember
All the faces who picked you up
When you fell down
There's no hiding from the truth
Your life is a disgrace
You're procrastinating all the time
And you're fed up of this race
I hope that's the last time
I hear you whine today
And I hope that you realise that
You're the one controlling your fate
If I lose it all in the end
Why do I waste my time pretending,
I can't live my life like this?
I think that maybe I'm afraid of bliss
If I could conjure up a master plan
To save you from your plight
You know I'd do anything I can
But this is not my fight
I hope that the penny
Drops for you tonight
And I hope that you realise that
Everyone is on your side
If I lose it all in the end
Why do I waste my time pretending,
I can't live my life like this?
I think that maybe I'm afraid of bliss
One day you'll grow up to be a king
You'll be the light of some girl's eye
Wake up with everything
You'll say you never want to die
And I hope that you remember
All the places you grew up
And I hope that you remember
All the faces who picked you up
When you fell down
When you fell down
If I lose it all in the end
Why do I waste my time pretending,
I can't live my life like this?
I think that maybe I'm afraid of bliss
If I lose it all in the end
Why do I waste my time pretending,
I can't live my life without you?
I think that it's the one thing that I ought to do

She's A Ghost

She's A Ghost
She 's on it
Got me haunted
Guess she never got what she wanted
Pure reaction
Quick retraction
Complication based on no action
Takes a broken mirror in one hand and the other in mine
She held it up just fine, but in the end she's pretend like a shadow cast
Reflecting all that's mine on overdose
Now she can take all the time that she needs to be free of the uncertainty
Centuries go by, time drifts away, shifts away
And she slips away
She's A Ghost
She's A Ghost
Poisoned lover
Can't cross over
Every moment moves like another
Desperation
Pure frustration
Complication based on attraction
Takes a broken mirror in one hand and the other in mine
She held it up just fine, but in the end she's pretend like a shadow cast
Reflecting all that's mine on overdose
Now she can take all the time that she needs to be free of the uncertainty
Centuries go by, time drifts away, shifts away
And she slips away
She's A Ghost
She's A Ghost
(She's A Ghost)
Now we can get on just fine but in the end she's pretend like a shadow cast
Reflecting all that's mine on overdose
Now she can take all the time that she needs to be free of the uncertainties
Centuries go by, time drifts away, shifts away
And she slips away
She's A Ghost
She's A Ghost
She's A Ghost
She's A Ghost
She's A Ghost

If You Let Me
Paint a picture in my mind
Tell me how you want this to be
I'll say or do what you want
I'll give your conscience company
When the world starts to cave in
And every solace burns your heart
I could be your silver lining
If you let me
If you let me
Innocence so unfamiliar
Remember well from long ago
Together we could get it back
I'll hold you tight, don't let me go
When the world starts to cave in
And every solace burns your heart
I could be your silver lining
I know you feel tired
I know you feel you've been fighting on your own
We are all so tired
I feel the strain and pressure, I don't know if I can carry on
I close my eyes and think of you
I wish you'd never feel alone
When every hope disintegrates
And all you feel is heartache
When there's nowhere to escape
I could be your everything
If you let me
If you let me

Every Word

Every Word
You are the earth
Keep me from falling to the core
You are the moon
Your light will shine through the darkest storms
You are the ocean
Your gentle waves will drown my wars
Now you’re never gonna see me cry
I guess I missed you when you said goodbye
All the stars in the sky align
But I will miss you
I’ll miss you
Oooooh Woah
My heart is shaking with every word
Oooooh Woah
I hope you know that you changed the world
You are the sun
You warm my frozen skin and bones
You are my shadow
Always around when I’m alone
As our time ran away in haste
I can’t help but wish for your embrace
It’s crushing my mind, a hundred times a day
But it won’t break me
Won’t break me
Oooooh Woah
My heart is shaking with every word
Oooooh Woah
I hope you know that you changed the world
Oooooh Woah
Oooooh Woah
The ground you walked illuminates
With memories so true
They take me back to our young days
Where all I see is you
You are the earth
Wherever you go is where I call home
Now you’re never gonna see me cry
I guess I missed you when you said goodbye
All the stars in the sky align
But I will miss you
I’ll miss you
Oooooh Woah
My heart is shaking with every word
Oooooh Woah
I hope you know that you changed the world
Oooooh Woah
Oooooh Woah
The ground you walked illuminates
With memories so true
They take me back to our young days
Where all I see is you

Automatic

Automatic
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
It's automatic
I'm a loaded gun and you're my trigger
So cold and static around my finger
I can't linger here
When it's clear I don't want to be here
And I don't want to see anything at all
I don't want to know
I don't want to fear anything at all
When I've got so much love
So much love
I'm sure you can feel it
It's unwired electric
To a simple man but not a sinner
To nurture or neglect it
Oh you're the winner,
You're the winner baby
But it's clear I don't want to be here
And I don't want to see anything at all
I don't want to know
I don't want to fear anything at all
'Cause I've got so much love
So much love
I'm sure you can feel it
Oh you can feel it
Oh you can
Oh you can
Oh it's clear I don't want to be here
And I don't want to see anything at all
I don't want to know
And I don't want to fear anything at all
'Cause I've got so much love
So much love I'm sure
You can feel it
Oh you can feel it
It's automatic
It's automatic
It's oh ohhhh oh oh
Can you feel it?

The Hunter

The Hunter
I am hunting, you are my prey
This is how we're born to be
There's no time to hesitate
Or you will die in front of me
Run against the wind
I'll make it last a little while still
When I pin you down
There shall be no resistance to my will
Slowly sinking, no one's listening
There is only you and me
I will look into your eyes
And tell you that
I can't promise that it will be ok
That you won't be longing to live just one more day
It's in my nature to kill
It's my desire to thrill
I am the hunter
I'll make you feel like
Feel like you're alive
I need to be the one
Be the one in control
I am waiting patiently
I know that you will come to me
I am not the enemy
It's your responsibility
Run against the wind
Desert your instincts they will let you down
When you're in my power
I will let you know that
I can't promise that it will be ok
That you won't be praying to live just one more day
It's in my nature to kill
It's my desire to thrill
I am the hunter
I'll make you feel like
Feel like you're alive
I need to be the one
Be the one in control
Yeah, I need to feel like
Feel like I'm alive
And I need to be the one
Be the one in control
Ooooh
Ooooh
I'll make you feel like
Feel like you're alive
I need to be the one
Be the one in control
Yeah, I need to feel like
Feel like I'm alive
But I won't let you be the one
Be the one in control
It's in my nature to kill
It's my desire to thrill
I am the hunter

Minute of Silence

Minute of Silence
I watch the news in mute;
I watch but I don't see a smile.
I cannot identify all the reasons why
We swallow every single lie
I can't put an end to the violence
I can't grant your mother asylum
But I can spare one minute of silence
I can't put an end to the violence
I can't grant your mother asylum
What will they write this time
About our leader's latest crime?
Another scapegoat stands in line,
Designed to reisgn
For another soon forgotten headline.
That won't put an end to the violence
And won't grant our used asylum
But we can spare one minute of silence
It won't put an end to the violence
It won't grant your child asylum
But let's all spare one minute of silence
Oh ooh
Eyes so blind and minds so cold
Making holes in their own souls
'cause they don't know, no
They don't know
That every dying child is their own
I can't put an end to the violence
I can't grant your mother asylum
But I can spare one minute of silence
It won't put an end to the violence
It won't grant our used asylum
But we can spare one minute of silence
It won't put an end to the violence
It won't grant your child asylum
But let's all spare one minute of silence
It won't put an end to the violence,
It won't put an end to the violence...
But I can spare one minute long

A Heroine's Song

A Heroine's Song
Angels standing side by side
They all wait to cross the line
Empty treasure chests lie
To greet their blurry eager eyes
They said Lord we passed the test
Did everything to be the best
Now my heart is beating slower
Think it's time I had some rest
ooooh
ooooh
A generation passes by
Ticking boxes, hypnotised
Waiting for the golden prize
To greet their blurry eager eyes
They said "when does it begin?"
I've been so good, I haven't sinned
I'll be patient just a little longer,
I know I will win
ooooh
ooooh
Something's not right
I cannot explain
Too late to turn back
I'll carry on this way
The sun rises
It's a new day
Another chance for us
To Listen!
We're born to follow
Not to question
We understand this is our
Position!
Be a model daughter, wife
And a mother
This is the only
Way we know!
We'll never fail to act
To deliver
This is our culture of
Submission!
But something's not right
I cannot explain
Too late to turn back
I'll carry on this way
She gave her heart, she gave it all
She lived a heroine's life untold
But her name won't survive the history books
Her contribution was too small
Oooh
Ooooh
Ooooh

Are we on the Same Road?

Are we on the Same Road?
Are we on the same road?
I don't know
But I wanna go home
I just don't know where it is right now.
Can I get a reaction for what I've done?
What I've begun to lose
In the end somehow I wanna go home
I wanna go home now.
The sun is shining at your back
The road is winding,
You're on track,
So swift you're gliding,
But there's something you don't see.
A treasure more than gold,
The pleasure of your company is sold.
We measure hope as you find your feet...
And are we on the same road?
I don't know
But I wanna go home
I just don't know where it is right now.
Can I get a reaction for what I've done?
What I've begun to lose
In the end somehow I wanna go home
I wanna go home now.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Are we on the same road?
I don't know
But I wanna go home
I just don't know where it is right now.
Can I get a reaction for what I've done?
What I've begun to lose
In the end somehow I wanna go home
I wanna go home now.

Release My Grip
On the first of January
A day we'll look ahead
We think of the things we love
And make plans inside our heads
If you can't see through the fog
You stare into the ground
And wait for a blind man to show you the clouds
And boy, you're gonna miss this town
If you decide that all that's left
Are memories
Don't look at me like that
It's hard to hold my stance
Don't ask me for the truth
I don't have many answers
No
I don't wanna fly
I don't wanna fix the world
I don't wanna fly
I don't wanna fix the world
And I said boy, you're gonna miss this town
If you decide that all that's left
Are memories
I said boy, you're gonna miss this town
If you decide that all that's left
Are memories
It's always better from the distance
Easier when I can't see
I'll give up my front row seat
This vicariousness does it for me
Release my grip on reality
Release my grip on gravity
Release my grip on the ordinary
Release my grip on gravity
Don't worry my friend
We'll cleanse all our sins and walk away
You'll be alright
Even though you can't see me on this day
Don't worry my friend
We'll cleanse all our sins and walk away
I'd trade my place
Just so that you could see you on this day

Colours
I can barely see the horizon
This ship is sailing far away from me
Away from me.
The wind is beating at my sails,
A storm is coming,
I can see,
I can see.
Did I lose control
Like I lose everything that matters?
Did I lose your soul?
Am I lost alone?
Am I lost alone without your colours?
'Cause I can barely see the horizon,
When this ship is sailing so so close to me,
Close to me.
The wind is tearing down my sails,
A storm is coming,
I can see,
I can see.
Did I lose control
Like I lose everything that matters?
Did I lose your soul?
Am I lost alone?
Am I lost alone without your colours?
Ohhh la la la la la la la ahhh oooohh
Did I lose control
Like I lose everything that matters?
Did I lose your soul?
Am I lost alone?
Am I lost alone? Am I lost alone now?
Did I lose control like I do?
And so now there's nothing left for me to lose...
So I lose control.
Now I'm lost alone.
Now I'm lost alone
Without your colours...
Without your colours...
Without your colours...
Without your colours...
